He's looking at the stars in the sky
and tears are in his eyes,
still thinking 'bout his home in the town
he's longing home.

So many years have gone since he left
still tryin to forget,
but memories and roots are to strong
he knows for sure,there ain't no cure.

City child longing home, a city child
who once went wrong.
City child gotta hide, a city child
who is on the run.
City child.

He ran away one night in the dark
things turned out pretty hard,
but somehow he can't find peace of mind
he can't deny, that he's a

City child longing home, a city child
who once went wrong.
City child gotta hide, a city child
who is on the run.
